    Depends, what's your taco's specs? V6 or I4? Manual or auto? 4x2 or 4x4? What maintenance or repairs have been done?

    Tune up, take any mods back to stock, adjust your driving style.

    That is about the long and short of how to improve mpg in any vehicle ever made. Driving style is about 85% of any changes made :)

    Changed my spark plug wires really helped. Before I was getting 12-13 mpg on highway and after I got about 15-17 mpg. First time changing the plugs at 169k lol... I went with Ngk plugs from Amazon
